Antea, would you say "renta'l" or "renta-ho" here? My understanding is if the referent is a specific object it would be "lo" (renta'l [el drap, el barret]), whereas ho would imply tot això or something like that.

Oops the image I created in my mind with me watching an enjoyable film while eating delicious fruit included an arm-chair. A chair would be too uncomfortable. Correcting my Russian translation.(And hmm I did say "chair" in my Turkish translation).

+Latin.- For my use of "neve" followed by an imperative, see Hale and Buck's grammar § 464. (They also mention a similar construction with "neque", apparently mostly just attested in Cicero.)- For my use of the construction "hic in hac sella" see the attested "hic in hoc posticulo" (Plautus, Trinummus, line 1085).- For "taenia" (which in Classical Latin means "ribbon, hair-band", and by extension a few (supposedly) similar-looking things such as "tapeworm" and "small row of rocks"), this is the word I most often see among Latin speakers today for "movie, flick", but Latin Wikipedia does seem to prefer "pellicula" and the diminutive "taeniola" instead.- For the collocation "quadrum latum", the word "quadrum" is the actual modern Latin word for "(computer/TV) screen", but my collocation "quadrum latum" is admittedly ad hoc.
